NORMA KAMALI, NEW YORK FASHION ICON

By Fiona Tedds, Deputy Editor

In GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK, we profile the iconic fashion designer Norma Kamali, who has clothed everyone from Farrah Fawcett (remember that poster of her in a red swimsuit that everyone owned in the late 1970s?), to Beyoncé and continues to be at the forefront of the athleisure and fitness industries.

Norma Kamali is, as Andre Leon Talley has so accurately described her, an American fashion pioneer. During the more than forty years she has been in the New York fashion business, she has consistently shown remarkable foresight regarding the state of the industry, the new technological developments that impact the industry, and the desires of women themselves when it comes to how they want to dress. She has embraced innovation and technology like no other designer and has also maintained a creativity that keeps her on top of her game and in business. And she is ready for more.
